Pope Francis updates: Pope Francis' coffin has been closed

Former Vice President Kamala Harris in a statement called Pope Francis "a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice."

"He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children -- especially the most vulnerable among us," Harris said. "Doug and I pray for His Holiness, and we join people around the world in mourning his loss."

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement they are mourning Pope Francis’ death as well as celebrating "his remarkable life and legacy: promoting peace, economic inclusion, and social justice; and fighting climate change, particularly its threat to the lives and livelihoods of the world’s poorest citizens."

"I was blessed to have met with His Holiness," the statement said, "and Hillary and I were honored when he took part in the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 Annual Meeting, where he spoke about his children’s hospital helping young people injured in Ukraine and invited the CGI community to pitch in and help, which they have."

"In taking the name of St. Francis, he made it clear that he would endeavor to embrace the entire world, including those of other faiths, those whom the church hadn’t always welcomed, and anyone whose daily struggles reflected the enduring truth of our common humanity," the Clintons said. "By his own example, he taught that every human being’s personal search -- even a Pope's -- for a purposeful life was meaningful and important, and that power and politics must always make room for compassion and coexistence."

President Donald Trump said he doesn’t know yet if he’ll attend the funeral for Pope Francis.

"I don’t know yet," Trump told reporters at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday. "We’re going to be briefed on it right now -- we’re going to the Oval Office."

"I just have to look at the timing. We just lowered the flags throughout the country," he added.

When asked how he would remember Pope Francis' legacy, Trump responded, "He's a very good man who loved the world. And he especially loved people who were having a hard time. And that's good with me."
